Store Team Member
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
A Store Team Member at Woolworths Supermarkets helps customers, replenishes shelves, maintains attractive and safe store areas, operates registers, supports online order fulfilment, and follows food safety and workplace procedures. The role generally requires a customer-focused attitude, reliability, clear communication, teamwork, and the ability to work efficiently in a busy environment. Candidates should be comfortable standing for extended periods, lifting and moving stock safely, and working flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Previous retail experience is useful but is often not essential, as training is provided. A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to excellent service are expected.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Sales assistants and shop-floor staff are not on the Core Skills list; only retail managers and buyers can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423+; a working holiday visa is the usual route for shop work.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Shop jobs go to people with work rights, including working holiday visa holders (6 months with one employer); there is no sponsorship route for sales assistants.
